Support - No Thanks, I'm Pregnant

Support from partners, family and friends

Social activities with your family and friends can often involve people drinking alcohol or take place in venues where alcohol is being served. Just because you are pregnant doesn’t mean that you should miss out on having fun, however, it will help you to know you feel supported in your choice not to drink and have a plan in place for consuming alternatives to alcohol.

New guidance says no amount of alcohol is safest during pregnancy. Please share this information with your family and friends.
